About Trina Turk:

California native Trina Turk (who learned to sew at age 11) designed for contemporary and sportswear lines before debuting her own label in 1995. Her collection is inspired by L.A.'s architecture and multicultural heritage along with the desert's poolside lifestyle, which led to a swimwear line featuring fun prints and flattering shapes.

Trina Turk is a professional fashion designer. Before becoming a designer, she wanted to design contemporary clothing collections for women so she decided to start her own business. She partnered with a photographer and established her company in 1995. Her company has been profitable and her designs have been sold in many boutiques.
